I think the best "shark dives" are really shark encounters. Debbie and I do not dive on any dive where sharks are lured in by feeding or sound or otherwise. We will go on a dive to a location where sharks are expected to be seen, and the best one of those for me was the Molokai hammerhead shark dive. It takes a bot ride to Molokai from Maui, which on some days can be quite rough. The dive is off the East end of Molokai, between the Islad and a couple of off shore pinnacles. There is current, but there are wonderful schools of hammerheads, who drift in the current and wait for the squid and other food sources to be carried to them. If you are ever on Maui, contact Lahaina divers about going on this dive whihc is very much for advanced ( and experienced) divers. My second best shark dive was on the back wall of Molikinin Crater off of South Maui. We saw a large tiger shark ( 1o feet or more) cruising and then latching onto and shaking ( ultimately eating a much smaller ( perhaps 3 to 4 feet long) white tipped reef shark. Two shars on the dive, and it was a great "shark dive" even though the objective was to see manta rays, which we did not.
